>Attempt to get Keine to the clinic.

>You are not able to lift Keine at all, but you are able to coax her to stand and lean heavily on you. She shuffles along, not really conscious, muttering "N't'nite, muh..."
>You head south, back to the entrance of the Ancient City, then to the west.
>You come to a more quiet part of town, with more old homes than anything. A building with a cloth banner over its door, bearing several medical symbols, catches your eye. Obvious exits are East and North.

>You head toward the building, stumbling a bit from Keine's weight on you.
>Where is that bloody cat, anyways?

> Enter clinic
> Check own condition

>As you walk the door, you immediately notice a faint but persistent smell of vomit in the air. Looking around, you can see that a number of oni are using the clinic as more of a drunk tank. There are a number of cots laid out, with buckets thoughtfully provided beside them. Ichirin moves between the cots, quietly checking on the occupants. She notices you, raises an eyebrow, and gestures you toward an empty bed on the far side of the room. You notice Yuugi is also here, presently laying near the edge of her cot with her face hovering over the bucket. Obvious exits are South and East.
>Your current condition is: Sore, A Bit Tired, Mildly Nauseated, Having a Good Day

>You giggle softly at Yuugi's condition. At least she suffered while you were worried about meeting her.
>You start to tell Ichirin about Keine's position, until a chorus of groans from hung over oni drown you out; and a bucket; mercifully empty; is tossed in your general direction. Ichirin puts a finger to her lips, then waves you toward the cot again.

>Tell ichirin it's more the injuries than the drunkeness
>Remember to bring kisume here.

>You try to explain things to Ichirin again, and are again drowned out by a chorus of angry moans. A bottle flies uncomfortably close to your head, and shatters against the wall. Ichirin gives you a look, then puts her finger on her lips again, before returning to making her rounds among the oni.
>Yeah, imagining Kisume here right now brings a smile to your lips.

>You explain that Keine got knocked out. "Yes, this isn't the first time she's been here for brawling-related problems," Ichirin says. "It was good of you to escort her."

>"I've never heard of that person, and I don't know too much about magic, I'm afraid," Ichirin says. "I do think Yuugi has one of those Secret Items, though."
>Satori's Catness is very hard to pin down. You rate her at 67/96, and that is just an average. Okuu is about 17/96
>Ichirin seems to be solidly 33/96.

>"I'm sorry, I don't keep any," says Ichirin.
>Hey, don't blame me. You people are the ones who ask to see a thing then walk off without it.

>I will hurt and scrape you. You will need surgery.
>"I'm afraid that is all I have," says Ichrin. "I suppose it's a good thing, overall, that the clinic is used for a drunk tank more than an actual medical facility."
